We'll have to admit the OL did well on last two plays. And then crapped the bed again on the failed PAT.

So what's the call there going for two? Now we know we should take a FG if we get in range again instead of going for 4th down?

I don't care what happens the rest of this game. Coaching deserves a D- at best today. The only reason its not an F is because the defense has actually showed up today.

Are you kidding?

4th and 1, down by 11 after the idiotic call to go for it, we go for it again?

Now it's STILL a 2 score game?

Does Fitz have money on Minny in this game?
We're down by 9, not 11, which makes it worse. Field goal gets you within a TD. Head scratching decision.

I'm fine with going for it on 4th and 1...but not a passing play...Jackson up the gut...they call that play every other damn time.

Yes, the players are not executing. But Fitz is also making terrible decisions.

Would be a totally different game if they had kicked both field goals.

As bad as the O-line has looked (took McC that long again to finally start moving the pocket?), if the 'Cats end up losing a close one, totally on Fitz and McC.

OK, maybe he could have gotten rid of the ball sooner at times, but five sacks and two forced fumbles are also largely on the o-line. Plus, receivers dropping passes mean drives aren't being extended.
Sorry but those fumbles are on the QB. Albrecht said same during halftime summation.

I hate the call to go for it. We had a makeable FG. You need to get points off that turnover, and a FG makes it a one score game. Terrible coaching decision IMO (despite the obvious PI on that play).

Dude there is no reason Togo for it. You take the points there. I've said it numerous times pat is a good motivator but a terrible coach

Fitz can't change gears. He should have taken the FG but his so focused having gone for 2 and blowing it that they can only take TDs. Didn't refocus after the quick turnover.
